I don't know why
Some birds don't fly
I guess they all have their ways
I know the Lord makes no mistakes
I don't know why
Some people try
To throw stones at others' homes
To teach them right from wrong
But what if you knew me personally
If I struck a chord
What if you saw me
Vivid and clearly
Would I be ignored
If we could talk
We both could listen
Understand how we are different
Then maybe we could see
That we are the same
I don't know why
Fear swells inside
When we are faced with difference
This world is too small to be scared of it
If we could talk
We both could listen
Understand how we are different
Then maybe we could see
We are the same
